Coming to terms with someone you look up to being a pedophile and or enabler must be hard, just let the truth set in and move on.
Joe was old. I heard when given the police reports he had to ask his son what siding was, joe pa was either ignorant or involved; either way he was responsible.
No one needs to frame Joe Paterno. His failures are detailed in his own testimony.Q: Without getting into any graphic detail, what did Mr. McQueary tell you he had seen and where?
Mr. Paterno: Well, he had seen a person, an older — not an older, but a mature person who was fondling, whatever you might call it — I’m not sure what the term would be — a young boy.
Q: Did he identify who that older person was?
Mr. Paterno: Yes, a man by the name of Jerry Sandusky who had been one of our coaches, was not at the time.
Q: You’re saying that at the time this incident was reported to you, Sandusky was no longer a coach?
Mr. Paterno: No, he had retired voluntarily. I’m not sure exactly the year, but I think it was either ‘98 or ‘99.
Q: I think you used the term fondling. Is that the term that you used?
Mr. Paterno: Well, I don’t know what you would call it. Obviously, he was doing something with the youngster.
It was a sexual nature. I’m not sure exactly what it was.
I didn’t push Mike to describe exactly what it was because he was very upset. Obviously, I was in a little bit of a dilemma since Mr. Sandusky was not working for me anymore.
So I told — I didn’t go any further than that except I knew Mike was upset and I knew some kind of inappropriate action was being taken by Jerry Sandusky with a youngster.
Q: When did you — did you do something with that information?Yeah, a sexual predator running around abusing young boys is no reason to ruin anybody's weekend.
Mr. Paterno: Well, I can’t be precise.
I ordinarily would have called people right away, but it was a Saturday morning and I didn’t want to interfere with their weekends.
So I don’t know whether I did it Saturday or did it early the next week.
I’m not sure when, but I did it within the week.
Q: Other than the incident that Mike McQueary reported to you, do you know in any way, through rumor, direct knowledge or any other fashion, of any other inappropriate sexual conduct by Jerry Sandusky with young boys?"It may have been discussed in my presence, something else about somebody." That has the ring of credibility, doesn't it?
Mr. Paterno: I do not know of anything else that Jerry would be involved in of that nature, no. I do not know of it.
You did mention — I think you said something about a rumor. It may have been discussed in my presence, something else about somebody.
I don’t know.
I don’t remember, and I could not honestly say I heard a rumor.
Q: You indicated that your report was made directly to Tim Curley. Do you know of that report being made to anyone else that was a university official?So after telling my boss, I just washed my hands of it and went back to coaching football. If nothing happened to the guy and he went on abusing boys, not my fault.
Mr. Paterno: No, because I figured that Tim would handle it appropriately.
I have a tremendous amount of confidence in Mr. Curley and I thought he would look into it and handle it appropriately.
This thread is a joke
Why do people even try this. You gotta reexamine your life @phishhheads. You are officially at the top of my shit list, why would someone even start to defend this sick f***.
How can you still defend his actions or more appropriately inaction?
I watched the video and it seems to be a bunch of butthurt PSU fanboys in denial about there beloved Jo Pa. The information they were presenting was kind of arbitrary and if half the stuff they believe is true, then Paterno is made out to be an oblivious idiot incapable of tying his own shoes. Come on! The guy coached college football so he could not have been that stupid and thus ignorant to all the going ons in his domain. But in the highly unlikely situation that he really was that blind, then it doesn't matter. His energy will be appraised and allocated appropriately by the power that governs all, as will Jerry Sandusky's.
